Aasgaard 'looks at home' on global stage

Thelo Aasgaard celebrates his first Norway goal with Martin Odegaard

Luton boss Matt Bloomfield says Hatters midfielder Thelo Aasgaard looks at home on the international stage.

The 22-year-old, signed from Wigan Athletic in the January transfer window, scored and provided an assist on his senior Norway debut in their World Cup qualifying win in Moldova on Saturday night.

He lined up in midfield alongside Arsenal skipper Martin Odegaard and behind Manchester City's Erling Haaland as Norway ran-out 5-0 winners in Group I.

"Thelo is a top performer. We know that," Bloomfield told the club website. "He's someone who we believe can go on even further in the game and I think what he's shown for us already is glimpses of that.

"He's been great, receives in tight areas and can knit the game together for us, which we love.

"He's gone away, in elite company and he looks like he's right at home. It was lovely to sit and watch his game at the weekend."

Meanwhile, Izzy Jones became the first Luton player to score a hat-trick for his country when he scored all three in Guyana's 3-2 Concacaf Gold Cup win over Guatemala on Friday night.

Bloomfield added: "Since we've gone to three at the back and Izzy's been wing-back, his form has been fantastic – he's really got the bit between his teeth.

"We knew he was a top performer for the level and I think it was probably a big move for him coming down from Middlesbrough, moving his family down and it took him a couple of games to adapt, but I think he looks in great form.

"He's gone away and got himself some goals and we hope he can carry that form through to Saturday at Hull."
